Grassroots Activism: Past and Present

As the current political dialogue swells with conversations about social justice, voting rights and the true meaning of democracy, Duke’s Center for Documentary Studies (CDS) uses the power of storytelling to demonstrate how we can learn from the past to maximize the impact of modern community organizing.

Read their conversation, “From the Inside Out“, in the latest installment of CDS’s new publishing partnership with the Oxford American.
